So, the Death To The Extremist article on Wikipedia, which for the record I’ve never touched, has been “marked for deletion” because DTE is apparently not notable due to a too-low Alexa rank.

I wouldn’t really mind, except this seems to be part of a mini-vendetta against articles about Web comics. Comixpedia comments on the deletion of the article on Attitude 3 (which DTE was featured in) and Jeff Rowland, who is notable just by virtue of being incredibly awesome, also has some good things to say.

This could spark a larger discussion of what constitutes notability in today’s world, but mainly I can’t believe web comic article are being considered for deletion while Wikipedia has a 3000+ word article on Donkey Kong’s animal buddies (complete with a discussion on why Yoshi is not technically an animal buddy). I’m a rabid gamer and I didn’t even know Donkey Kong had animal buddies.

I was just poking around Amazon and I saw a book called “The Beck Diet Solution“.

Apparently this is a diet where you start out by eating all kinds of weird stuff, like a Quarter Pounder and a glass of champagne for lunch, and for dinner, eggplant parmesan and an old boot. Then, every few years, you pick someone else’s diet and replicate it with some tweaks.

Zing.
